Another good thing to point out tho is this that mysterious s***? I listen to albums that people actually play. And you actually hear it. You know, driving your car you hear another car playing it. Go to the barber shop, you hear them playing it. You know, turn the radio on, and you hear them playing it. It's playing everywhere - it's called great music. It's called albums that you actually hear the songs. Not no mysterious s***, and you never hear it.

Because charts and sales are objective/tangible

Things like “ Quality “, “ Classic “ & “ critic scores “ are subjective/opinionated or sometimes biased

Not really.

As subjective as music is, there is obviously still music that is of high quality and music that is of low quality, but manages to chart high.

For example, Lil Pump songs chart higher than lets say Frank Ocean songs, but it is quite obvious who makes better music, despite what the charts say. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Where did I state Quantity = Quality ?

Quality has always been subjective based on the user’s preference

I’m saying it’s easier to discuss dominance, relevance & popularity because the numbers are tangible/clear indicator of what’s being consumed by the market

That’s why people prefer to discuss who sold more or who’s more popular opposed to who’s the best or who makes good music

I agree to an extent but I always feel like just because it’s not the determining factor in determining what music is “good” it’s one of the only tangible methods we have to grade music. I don’t think it should be treated as the gospel but to completely dismiss it seems rather odd. It’s almost as if it’s had an inverse effect on ktt where anything that’s “popular” is automatically deemed bad

there's definitely a relationship between the two but its not a simple relationship where good is popular and bad is unpopular or vice versa.

Popular music usually resonates with a wide audience who care little for music itself and just want something to listen to, and its perfectly possible for genuinely great music to be at the top, but also a vast majority of popular music is packaged as a product to make the top charts without much artistic merit, while a lot of more genuine effort goes unnoticed. Once again, great music can be at the top but there isnt a clear relationship

They only wanna listen to popular music so they wont get bullied

Lmfao this a copypasta?

For sure brother only real music gonna last
